    Samsung SSD Backup Drive

    I bought this item to replace and old disc backup drive. Not only is smaller, it both quieter and faster than my old drive, making the backup and storage of critical files much easier.

    It's A No For Me

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My husband bought this for me on Saturday (I would have written this under his account but he couldn't remember his password) so I was so excited as I am learning to record videos for YouTube and social media. We watched a few videos about this SSD and even though I was holding off so I could buy at least 2TB, my husband went and purchased this one. I like the feature where I can record video directly to the drive using Pro Res for my iPhone 15 Pro. What I don't like is how much storage it takes and when I try to edit the videos on my Macbook Pro, the size of the videos is way too large for it so it lags. Cannot record directly to the drive if it is not in Pro Res. Any video would have to be recorded on your phone and then transferred onto the drive. Oh, I forgot to mention that Samsung does NOT give you any directions on how to use this drive. My past drives I would have to download a driver to transfer files but nothing comes up when I plug it into my phone. The little book they give is absolutely no help. It shows you what cords come with it and where to plug them in. That's all. Went to Samsung's site and again, no help. So finding out the hard way that this drive would not fit my needs. Very disappointing and now I have to deal with a grouchy husband because he feels like he wasted his money and he knows if he returns it, he won't get it all back. He should have listened to me and waited....

    Excellent harddrive, perfect for storing photos we wish to save as well as important documents. This is perfect to use when archiving files and putting them in a safe. I only wish Best Buy had sent the correct color as advertised.

    Good memory, bad software

    I got this to back up photos from different laptops. I set up this device on a mac book pro, the software that Samsung asks you to install in order to connect to the drive is a bit clunky, it stopped working on my mac and I lost access to my backed-up photos, I just put it away and have not tried using it in one of my other macs, I wish it was just plug and play
